While winter weights take advantage of frozen soils to protect highways and create higher truck capacities seasonally; spring road bans reduce allowable weights on rural municipal roads and secondary weight highways by 10 to 15 percent to help prevent damage.

Forecast leans toward cooling trend
July saw below average temperatures, August came in with near to slightly above average temperatures and September built on this warming trend with well above average temperatures for the month.
Saskatchewan is unique because it has nine-month primary weight highways, and there are different dates when these weights are in effect compared to other prairie provinces.
In the north, the annual weight increase on these roads is from July 1 to March 31 of the following year. In the south, this occurs from June 15 to March 15 of the following year.
Producers looking for information on which roads are impacted should visit Saskatchewan.ca/trucking and download the New Spring Order.
